I have to add to this, JBS. So I like his stance on freedom of speech and I really thought he was going somewhere with that. However, then he gets into Obamacare and how it's the UN and Communist way of taking over other countries. Because the healthcare systems of all of the other countries need to be compatible with each other.

Hold the farking fort. There is the possibility of truly universal healthcare where you can get sick in any country and because you paid into your system at home, it's all free, subsidized or taken care of in this other country? And he want's us to fight against it? I didn't think humanity had that kind of foresight.

"Listen, and understand. The Tea Party is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with.It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you accept thatGeorge W. Bush was the greatest President this country ever had."

The thing is, these folks have a right to be mad. They watched gas prices skyrocket, they watched their incomes plummet, their savings deteriorate, their retirements plundered, and, sadly, they are essentially listening to the folks responsible for just those things pointing them away from themselves.

I feel for these folks, because they are correct in looking for someone to blame. Sadly, they are looking in the opposite direction, and the NeoCons have figured that it's best to keep them close, because if they look around, they'll realize what has gone wrong, and who is actually responsible.

The tax issue is a dodge. It is about getting folks on board to vote against their own interests, and to limit competition in the market. That isn't good for the nation. It isn't good for business either. We are watching the markets contract the number of players, and throw cash overseas as opposed to keeping it here, or using it here. We need local investment. We need more competition in the markets. We need more small business owners. We need to encourage folks to start up businesses that will use local distribution nets, that will serve local markets, because they will conserve cash into those communities, as opposed to shipping out to banks far and away from where the cash was spent. It has never been a trickle down, but always been trickle up. The policies we see advocated are about serving the largest players, and eliminating local players that might keep the cash circulating a bit longer before heading upstream. It WILL do that, but at a slower rate with more competition in the markets, and that is really what the largest players fear. That they won't get their cut as quickly, so that they can ship it out.

They're Republicans that don't want to admit to being Republicans. They will get fussy over Democrats in power and then suddenly hush up when Republicans come back. Just imagine the GOP elephant with Groucho glasses and those silly teabag hats saying "Me? No, I don't like Republicans."

Since a few people have already mentioned that President Obama has a little more pigment in his skin than any previous president, I'll throw out there that he's a Democrat and not a Republican. Those two factors pretty much explain it all.

Same repackaged Republican bullshiat that's been floating around for decades, only with more volume and histrionics to convince the low-info voter that they're not just voting for the same ol' same ol' because they hate that nig socialist in the White House, they love FREEDOM and they're PART OF SOMETHING REVOLUTIONARY!!!! These are the same idiots who probably lose a lot of sleep over that banner ad on Fark, thinking if they stay up late, they'll get to have a date with Michele Bachmann.

TheMysticS:TheMysticS: Because People in power are Stupid: The tea party is a "movement" created by Fox news. I remember when they were announcing the "rallies" on April 15 shortly after Bush Mccain lost.

This, the metaphor has been made several times regarding the TeaTards, but it still applies; Frankenstein always turns on his master.
